Vintage, Sterling Silver and Enamel Fob. 
 
This fob bears the old arms of Tyne and Wear in Blue and White enamel, which is now obsolete.  The reverse is engraved with "Wm. Kirkup 1936" and a few little flourishes. This would look great on a watch albert/chain, but also as an unusual pendant. 
 
For a gentleman, this would often be worn on the end of a pocket watch chain to weight it in the pocket or to be displayed near the T-Bar at the front of the waistcoat.
 
Measurements: It measures approximately 29mm top to tail not including the top jump ring, 25mm (1") wide at the widest point and just over 2.1mm thick at the thickest point of the body (not the ring).
Metal and Marks: Makers mark of Thomas James Skelton, Sterling Silver, Chester, 1936.
Weight: Approximately 8.79 grams.
Condition: The fob is in excellent condition for its age. There are some minor marks to the metal and some very small signs of damage to the enamel, but this is minimal and much better than I would expect for its age. 
 
All vintage items have been worn and loved before they find their next owner, so they should always be worn or used with a little more care than a brand new piece. Some minor scratches are normal. All vintage pieces I sell have been thoroughly cleaned and lightly polished when required. If repairs are needed before it's offered for sale, they are completed sympathetically.
 
Thank you for looking and please have a look around the other items in my shop.
